Maraat waits, readying himself if anymore undead present themselves as a clear target.
OOC: Readied action to spirit blast first undead or other enemy to come within 60 ft. (or 30 ft. if fog is too thick)

As Jarrith leaps from the mount and bounds into the overgrown weeds, he feels the Cat's Grace spell making him so incredibly agile and lithe. Thus it is a complete shock to him when no sooner does he enter into the patch that one of the stalks reach up and entwines itself around his right leg. "Son of a-- Come on! Ungh! Leggo! Leggo you stupid..."
As the others in the group continue the battle, Jarrith sees all manner of weaponry and spells explode over his head. He turns to see the plodding zombie up ahead also caught in the weeds, and sees the freed ghast begin moving forward. As he feels Ashlyn trying to chop and cut the weeds off of him, Jarrith shouts at her not to bother. "Don't worry about me! Take out the ghast when he moves up!"
**********
OOC: Assuming the freed ghast moves forward and engages me, I will not attempts to escape the entanglement and instead will attack twice with my rapiers, taking the penalty to hit. (+8/+8 to hit +1 inspired -2 entangled = +7/+7 : 1d6+2/1d6+1 / 18-20)

Undead Foray Round 7
Marot waits for his moment to strike.
The trapped ghast cannot free itself, and its curses get more insistent. The free ghast snarls, but instead of rushing headlong at Jarrith and company, dashes into the nearest building. For a heart racing moment, it is out of sight until Jarrith and Daellin see it smashing open a window on the side of the building. Its going around!
With the window open, Jarrith is assaulted by the foul carrion stench clinging to the ghast. The smell overwhelms him, forcing him to retch! [Fort 9 fails; sickened]
Seeing an opening, Marot pours more holy fire into the fray. However, the ghast is well protected by the window, and the blast hits the building ineffectually. [AC 9 misses]
Janis emerges from the alley to find herself on another empty street. She hustles towards the sound of combat, finding entrapped foes. She cannot see the others, but assumes they managed at least to get to the other end of the road.
The scholar holds back, waiting for his time to help. After all, fighting is what the others are for. Right?
Ashlyn fights the weeds, trying to free Jarrith. She is able to pull some of the weeds from him. She hopes it will be enough. [Aid Another Strength Check 14 succeeds]
Sickened, with no undead to fight, the Stalker thinks twice about attacking and tries to free himself. With Ashlyn's assistance, he easily extracts his legs. [Full round action to escape; Escape Artist 25 succeeds; not entangled]
Sir Urik curses colorfully and moves towards the building trying to block the ghast's escape. The great man seems heedless of the undead's foul oder. Meanwhile, the sound of Urik's raven can be heard from the building, as it once more attempts to baffle the ghast. The undead bats at the bird, distracted. [Ghast harried (-2 AC)]
Daellin sights the ghast, and sends three more arrows flying. Two of them strike the building, but the third makes its mark, wounding it heavily. [AC 13, 9 ranged miss; AC 24 hits; 12 hp]
The weeds try to once again entrap Jarrith, but even sickened he has learned his lesson---they fail to grab him. [Reflex 20 succeeds]
Selase's mount starts bucking at the scent of the ghast, and Khensu is unable to control it. [Ride Check 2 fails]
The zombie continues struggling in a futile attempt to escape.

Freed from the weeds, and now seeing the harried and damaged ghast in the window, Jarrith takes a step back outside of the weed's range. (5' step to P18) "Daellin... he's all yours!"
"Easy! Easy girl! We have things under control! Easy!" Sir Khensu tries mightly to control the horse. (Will try to get the steed back under control if another Ride check is allowed, otherwise he will dismount. If there is still an action available to him, he will fire his bow at any available target.)

Janis steps forward to ensure she's within range of the ravenous undead and pitches a hastily summoned bit of acid at it.
OOC: 5' step to close the range, 4d6 Acidic splatter on the entangled ghoul/ghast/whatever - she's nuking it.

"No you don't!" Maraat cries at the enhoused undead, more silver fire boiling from his fingertips.
OOC: More ghast-blasting with spirit blast at the one in the house.

Ashlyn deliberately steps forward between Urik and Jarrith into the entangled area and swings her blade at the undead creature through the window.
